ISRO released an official statement through X app by writing, “Chandrayaan-3 Mission: In-situ scientific experiments continue ..... Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument onboard the Rover unambiguously confirms the presence of Sulphur (S) in the lunar surface near the south pole, through first-ever in-situ measurements. Al, Ca, Fe, Cr, Ti, Mn, Si, and O are also detected, as expected. Search for Hydrogen (H) is underway. The LIBS instrument is developed at the Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS)/ISRO, Bengaluru.”
ISRO is providing all the updates through social media without a miss. Chandrayaan 3 mission is a super successful mission of India, which was made with the cost of Rs 627Cr. With this boost, ISRO is all set to launch Aditya L1, a Sun mission in search of secrets on the Sun on the 2nd of September.
